Also, do you pay when shipping and include box and shipping costs in stud fee?

TIA!

I have had great success with Camelot Farms products. The ladies there can help you with any questions as well.

Minitube has some really nice shipping boxes too. They come with 2 hard plastic cold packs, that you freeze each time before use. Their boxes are only $22.50. We did 3 shipments using their boxes. The semen arrived great. Camolot boxes are about double the size of Minitube. Minitube has some really great extender.

Here is the link to the whole shipping kit.

I have used both Camelot and Minitube. I have the bitch owner pay for all that on their own.

I have seriously considered using an IGLOO Playmate. It is very well insulated and will last a lifetime.

We ship samples to the EPA in small igloos and seal with strapping tape.

If you pack it correctly, and who would not, this is really the way to go!!!

Clone is always an option.

I just sent mini-tube kits to a stud dog owner and I have to agree the kits are really nice and very sturdy; the styrofoam is solid throughout the kit with the exception of where you put the ice packs and semen. One of the shipments got "lost" temporarily and when I finally got it, thank goodness the kit was solid as it was bounced around quite a bit and had some holes on the outside. If it was a Clone or a Camelot Farms, being that the inside is hollow, I am not certain the semen would have made it.
